You're Letting All the Air Out

Frog Imperial March Instructions (proper keyboard/numpad may be necessary):
- Play this video
- With your cursor focused on the video, type the following: 6 6 6 8 56 8 56, 3 3 3 2 56 8 56 8 56, 2 7 2 3 4343 7 4 6565 87 8 56 8 56

This works, of course, because Youtube videos let you jump to a percentage of the video with the number keys, so each key matches with a 10% section of the video.

other songs:

- Amazing Grace
7 5 3 5 3 4 5 6 7
7 5 3 5 3 4 2
3 2 3 2 3 5 7 6 5 5 6 7
7 5 3 5 3 4 5

- Darude Sandstorm (main hook)
666666 4445557 666666 466666

Huh. Was expecting more from Frog Fractions 2.

Before I enjoy this too much, somebody please tell me that this little guy is not being hurt or stressed out in anyway by this handling.

Pro tip: doing a cut and paste of the sequence does not work.

I was trying to find out that information myself, but there didn't seem to be much available. The description itself says it's making that sound to get food, "weed poop"? I've never heard of that...

Here is a vegan version: Grab a pencil and paper and write out "-2 -2 x ="

Yes, no, maybe?

Wikipedia says it's a defense mechanism: Another tactic used by some frogs is to "scream", the sudden loud noise tending to startle the predator. The gray tree frog (Hyla versicolor) makes an explosive sound that sometimes repels the shrew Blarina brevicauda.

So I guess we're all jerks.

HAS THERE BEEN AN FPP OF THAT? IF NOT WHY?? THE SORCERY MUST BE SPREAD.

The Imperial March in a major key is surprisingly rousing!

A duet.

Actually, it's more "solo and chorus."

The pitches aren't really close enough for me for a satisfying Imperial Frog March. Which has, sadly, led to me thinking about how I could take the video, and time stretch it and pitch correct it so that the notes are the right ones. Maybe some enterprising person will do this for me, with a bit of luck.

The Imperial March in a major key sounds like it's from a Zelda game.

Someone did it for Sandstorm, of course.
